1. Leonardo DiCaprio

It’s probably no surprise that we’re topping the list off with this environmental advocate and actor. Leonardo DiCaprio has openly supported eco-friendly efforts for years. Back in 2018, he tweeted, “Solar power is key to a future without fossil fuels.” We don’t know if he had a crystal ball, but DiCaprio has been doing his part to make the world a greener place for over 20 years.


He’s on the board of the World Wildlife Foundation, which supports efforts to make it easier for people to live in harmony with nature. He’s also endorsed an off-grid solar company called Kingo. This company provides decentralized solar energy to communities all over the world.

2. Mark Ruffalo

This Hulk of an activist has installed a solar array beside his home and has actually spoken out against fossil fuels as an energy source. Ruffalo highlights how his solar energy system can produce an excess of clean energy. Through a net metering program in New York, he’s able to receive credits on his utility bill and the excess energy is rolled back to the power grid for his neighbors to use. A superhero after our own hearts, Mark Ruffalo is embracing a greener lifestyle on and off camera.


3. Brad Pitt

Second on the list, but not in our hearts, is Brad Pitt. This heartthrob has held A-list status for quite a long time and has done his part to make significant contributions to sustainability efforts. Pitt’s Make It Right foundation has remodeled an old school building into an energy-efficient apartment complex in Kansas City. Reportedly, the Bancroft School Apartments holds 400 solar panels. The intention of the program is to make sustainable living more affordable and accessible for lower income communities.

A TREND CLOSE TO HOME

Solar panels are great for everyone, not just the rich and famous. With the newly passed Inflation Reduction Act, we’re expecting to see more and more people go solar. Taking into account rising electricity prices and the ever-present climate change, it seems the choice to power your home with solar energy is not only a smart one, but also pretty trendy. Live like the stars when you bring solar panels home. Schedule a free solar consultation today!
